[...] Just In Case You Didn’t Feel Like Puking Now: Sarah from Hornets Hype is disgusted as some of the ESPN writers didn’t have Chris Paul in their Top 5 for MVP. Good thing I do. Or else Sarah will kick me in the nuts. [...]

Best Point Guard in the game- about to lead the leauge in steals and assist for 2 consecutive seasons- no-one has done this, Stockton did but not consecutively…. we just have a hobbled team- better luck next year- Only the, i believe 94-95 Rockets has been the only 6th seed to ever win the title They had two future hall of famers Olojuian and Drexler—-

CP3- He missed 4 games. The Hornets went 2-2, beating TOR & MIN and losing to CHI & @MEM.
D-Wade has missed 1 game… a L @ BOS. That’s weird, I thought he had missed more.
The difference between the 2 teams is 7 games, in the Hornets favor.
Truthfully, it’s probably a toss-up between the 2.

LBJ doesn’t have the greatest talent, but if nothing else, Mo Will is an All-Star this year (even if it took injuries).
Kobe is surrounded by talent in Fisher, Odom, Bynum & Gasol.
D-Ho… the teams implosion late hurts him (same is true for CP3 though). Plus, he plays with Rashard & Hedo & Jameer (when he’s not hurt).
The thing in Billups favor… pretty much the exact same team last year was horrible. This year, they’re battling for the #2 seed. And I don’t think it’s because of Hit-N-Run.

The problem with this blog is the author is not passionate enough about Chris Paul.

No, good take on the the way he continually gets overlooked, and if the Hornets lose in the first round of the playoffs, the problem probably will continue.

Here’s my take on the Hornets’ very real chance to fall to the eighth seed and a matchup with Kobe. I’ve already got this blog linked on my home page.

I think we want to win, because we could still be 8th if we don’t. Granted it would take Utah (playing just as crappy as us right now) beating the Lakers, but you don’t know who’s going to play and who’s going to rest at this point in the season. I personally don’t like to count on other teams. I don’t think we’re going to get SA. I think they have to rely on the Blazers losing. Nuggets/Blazers is still a huge game for the high-mid seeds coming up Weds. It will be later than ours, 9:30. We won’t know anything. We gotta just try to win. (But the Hornets may have already secured no lower than 7 if the Jazz lose to the Lakers on the 2nd half of their back to back tonight.)

So, what’s the best scenario for the Hornets tonight. I was trying to work it out, but I’m easily confused. Do the Hornet’s want to throw the game tonight & hope they can get a series against a lame San Antonio. I thought that would be best, but I wasn’t even sure they could hold onto the 6 seed if they lost tonight, so they could give the division to SA & wind up playing Denver

I suppose so. But on topic, I’m with most of you guys all the way. CP’s impact on this team is far greater than most other players. If anything, his significance is FAR greater than D-I-still-refuse-to-spell-it-correctly-Wayne Wade, team record included.

You could make a push for Bron Bron (Mo Williams isn’t THAT good, IMO), ManChild (23-8 without Jameer?), and MAYBE Kobe (just because he’s Kobe, despite all the depth of that team), but really? Chauncey, Pierce, Parker? I’d put The Big Fundamental before every one of those players.

True, Sheed pushed the Pistons over the edge. But they got him at the trade deadline, right? Hard to measure a season that late.

What I don’t understand is why they’re giving Chauncey Billups MVP votes when Rasheed Wallace did the exact thing for the Pistons when they won the championship… and Sheed got probably -12 votes. AND Sheed won a chip for them too (in retrospect)!

I can’t wait for pundits to claim this game proves CP3 is a cut below the other MVP contenders, despite the fact that no one in any way, shape, or form said that about “Viscount James” when his team got drubbed by 30 or so by the Magic, and were down 40 at one point.
